Top 5 Monday!

    Happy Monday, friends! I’m gonna mix up my top 5 post and do top 5 toxic things I was told growing up by people who didn’t deserve my time or energy! 


1. You’d be so much prettier if you just lost some weight. 


Adult response: and you’d be more attractive if you’d just shut your goddamn mouth; we’re all suffering here. 


2. You can’t like that, that’s for boys. 


Adult response: that’s cute that you think so, but I like it and that’s all that matters. 🖕🏼 


3. That’s not ladylike! 


Adult response: well, I AM a lady and i’m comfortable doing said thing and quite happy too. 🤷🏻‍♀️


4. "Stand up for yourself" Unless your opinion differs from the adults in your life. 


Adult response: Nah, boo, I think I'll just stand up for myself, now. Thanks for your input though! 


5. You should just eat healthy and smaller portions...it's not that hard to lose weight. 


Adult response: Are you in my kitchen with me every night cooking healthy meals? Do you SEE what I put in my mouth every second of the day? No? Do you pay for my groceries? NO? WELL THEN SHUT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK UP, YOU FUCKWAD. 


    Okay! now that I have those out, I'm more than happy to give just about anyone my adult responses now! I am a lot stronger now than I ever was before. If someone were to say those things to me now, I think that the version of me now, would greet their face with my fist. 


Graciously.  




XOXO

Cookie Era!

  Listen, I’m in my cookie era! Here’s what I did! I made a double batch, scooped them and placed them on parchment paper to keep them separated. Placed them in freezer bags and then froze the second batch. That way I have chemical free cookies ready to take out of the freezer whenever I want and bake fresh! This way I can bake 2 if I want instead of making up a whole batch.

Adult Money...

Image
Having access to adult money is ridiculous sometimes! Gets notification: “Your TV will be delivered Saturday!” Gets another notification: “Your remaining packages will be being delivered several a day until Christmas” Like okay, Siri! Thanks for reminding me of my inability to stick to the budget I created each week! I go over it by an offensive amount each week! I should know by now that I can't even follow my own rules.  If you're good at this kind of stuff, I applaud you!  XOXO  Also, thanks for selling me out, SIRI- you bitch!

What would you tell your former self if you had the chance?

So yesterday was all about confessions and today I am going to talk about what I wish I knew back then that I know now.   I have always thought the world was out to get me. If not the world, the people in my world. I haven ’t always had the easiest time and I have had some hard shit happen in my life; but who hasn’t?    Here’s a list of some of the things I've dealt with: 1.  Being an overweight child 2.  Having undiagnosed anxiety 3.  Being bullied 4.  Having literally no self confidence  5.  Being completely introverted   And h ere are the things I wish I could have said to myself back then :   Bullies:    It’s hard to even describe what it’s like to be bullied. Unless you’ve been there you just don’t know. My parents always made sure I had nice, name brand clothes and that I had anything I ever needed. But it didn’t matter, people couldn’t get over my size long enough to see that I had a good personality. And eventually...
